A covert rural surveillance operation is not a working camping trip Ė itís a risky undertaking that canít be compared to staking out an urban area. Developing a team that can successfully gather intelligence in the backwoods for hours, days or weeks at a time requires time, effort, support and commitment, plus a strong, visionary leader to see the value in creating such a team of experts. Van Ritch knows the importance of such operations. After more than 20 years in the U.S. Army, the former Special Forces officer and counterintelligence agent came home to address the dire need he saw for local law enforcement agencies and private investigators to be able to cover all the ground in their jurisdictions. He wrote this book as a guide to any organization or individual who needs to conduct searches or surveillance in rural and remote environments. In it, you will learn how to plan a mission and set goals, assemble a team, survive the environment, practice tactical movement, master camouflage, maintain constant security and more. Insuance claims activity and spouse cheating just doesnít stop where the pavement ends and neither should you! If you want to cover every corner of your territory, you need the information in this guide. 8 1/2 x 11, softcover, photos, 128 pp. $29.95
